    That’s not a good analogy.

    A more apt analogy would be:

    Firefox breaks extensions every other release in a way that’s trivial to fix, but a bit annoying.

    In an upcoming release, Mozilla warns that they’re standardising the way extensions are done so that not only are they easier to make, but breakage in the future is uncommon, though extensions as they currently stand won’t work.

    They give you a port guide and time in advance to get everything sorted.

    A beta build of Firefox comes out, 95% of extensions are already ported, but there are still a few (mainly ones that aren’t actively maintained) haven’t yet been ported.

    Is it annoying if you’re the kind of person who likes to be on the bleeding edge? Sure. But part of being on the bleeding edge is accepting that sometimes things are borked. If you can’t live with a changed workflow, don’t use beta software.
